Summary Introduction

A sensory receptor involved in the transduction of chemical signal into an action potential is referred to as a chemoreceptor. They are located on the cell membrane and are capable of detecting specific chemical stimuli present in the environment. MCP (methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins) is one such kind of chemoreceptor. These receptors mediate chemotaxis to diverse signals of the environment and make the bacteria to exhibit its movement modalities accordingly.
